Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules

Kinetic energy is solved by the formula,
                          KE = 0.5 x m x v²
First, convert the given speed in km/s to that with unit of m/s.
                        (10 km/s) x (1000 m/ 1 km) = 10000 m/s
Use the formula to obtain the KE
                           KE = 0.5 x (100 kg) x (10000 m/s )²
Thus, the value of its kinetic energy is 5x10^9 J.

Suppose that a person gets hit by a bus moving at 30 mi/h with a 58,000 lbs of force in the direction of motion. If the mass of
alexandr402 [8]

The impulse of a force is due to the change in the motion of an object

A. The persons speed after impact is approximately 59.38 mi/h

B. The expected speed is <u>29.89 mi/h</u> which is less than the findings

Reason:

Known parameters are;

The speed of the bus, v = 30 mi/h

The force with which the person was hit, F = 58,000 lbs

Mass of the bus, M = 40,000 lbs

Mass of the person, m = 150 lbs

Duration of the impact, Δt = 0.007 seconds

A. The speed of the person at the end of the impact, <em>v</em>, is given as follows;

The impulse of the force = F × Δt = m × Δv

For the person, we get;

58,000 lbf ≈ 1866094.816 lb·ft./s²

58,000 lbf × 0.007 s = 150 lbs × Δv

1,866,094.816 lb·ft./s²

\Delta v = \dfrac{1,866,094.816\ lbs \times 0.007 \, s}{150 \, lbs} \approx  87.084  \ ft./s

Δv = v₂ - v₁

The initial speed of the person at the instant, can be as v₁ = 0

The final speed, v₂ = Δv - v₁

∴ v₂ ≈  87.084 ft./s - 0 = 87.084 ft./s

≈ <u>87.084 ft./s</u>

<u />v_2 \approx \dfrac{87.084 \ ft./s}{y} \times\dfrac{1 \ mi}{5280 \ ft.} \times \dfrac{3,600 \ s}{1 \, hour} \approx 59.38 \ mi/h<u />

The speed of the person at the end of the impact, v₂ ≈ <u>59.38 mi/h</u>

B. Where the momentum is conserved, we have;

m₁·v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)·v

v = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot v_1 + m_2 \cdot v_2}{m_2 + m_1}

v = \dfrac{40,000 \times 30  + 150 \times 0}{40,000 + 150} \approx 29.89

The expected speed of the person at the end of the impact is 29.89 mi/h, and therefore, <u>the findings does not agree with the expectation</u>

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is  127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Charge on electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, v=3\times 10^7\ m/s

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}

a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}

F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
